A unique collection of concise but detailed information on 10,000
animals, plants, fungi and algae of the British Isles. Every
species with an English common name is included. The compendium is
in two parts. The first, smaller part, looks at various terms that
people interested in natural history may come across. The second
provides information on individual species or species groups, with
entries on those with English (common) names, as well as selected
families, orders, classes, etc. In the case of marine organisms,
entries are given for intertidal and subtidal invertebrate species,
and generally speaking for fish species that might be observed
inshore. Indication is often given on distribution as well as
whether a species is common, scarce or something in between. For
some species a note is made of population size and trends. Comments
are made where appropriate on etymology, both of the English name
and the binomial. No other natural history dictionary or cognate
publication relating to the British Isles is as comprehensive in
taxonomic cover.
